Next time, take some air out of the tires. I wouldve returned it all casual like nothing happened, and when the penske asks what happen, i would act all confused and be like what are you talking about it was like this
@@user-tb7rn1il3q oh yea i know what you are talking about ,,most rental trucks i have seen are also clearly labeled with their height too but idiots don't pay attention especially people who have never driven a high profile vehicle ,,i've driven semi trucks and just about every other type of truck you have ever seen ,so for me i cringe when i see an inexperienced driver get into a tall truck ,i can honestly say in 28 years driving commercial trucks i have not once ever hit a bridge , a guard rail or stoplight ,,my one accident where i hit a fixed object was in winter , i was driving a box van and hit some black ice and ended up sliding off the road and killing 12 mail boxes in the process ,and i was only going 20mph
The 11'10" part was probably in the middle, the entrance clearly had to be bigger than that because you can see the height of the truck (13'6") printed on the corner of the box. If the road had an upward angle under then it's easy to get a truck under the opening then stuck in the middle.
It clearly says right on the body of the truck in plain view of his mirrors that the vehicle height is 13'6''...no excuse. Also, I kinda blame the rental agency for not stressing that to non professional drivers.
can't believe nobody thinks to deflate the tires before trying to move out from under the bridge, he finally flipped the dump switch which lowers the pressure a bit in the suspension but I'd take 50% air out of tires as well. Some trucks here in Europe even have a built in switch to do it from the cabin and then reflate after (they carry a built in compressor)
I worked at a newspaper, and transportation gave the drivers written directions to avoid low bridges like this one. But a new hire used his phone for better directions and destroyed the truck. Plus, it was a rental!!!
I like how they put the height of the truck in reverse so that the driver can see it in his mirror. That should be the first thing you check when driving a tall truck. There really is no excuse.
Thats weird, i just rented the same truck and was 12/7, this one says 13/6!!! Must be the year model I guess but i always go by their numbers listed behind the cab.
Wont do any good, it clearly states the extra insurance doesn't cover topside damage. I bet that is why he is so relaxed he thinks he is covered. The rental agreement says the renter has the pay rental fees while the truck is repaired. This is going to cost him a lot of money.
@@theotherwalt l rent these stupid things out of home depot all of the time and l can tell you that the LDW is just a waste of money. all it covers is dings and scratches but most penske facilities don't mark you for that shit anyways because there isn't a single truck in the fleet that doesn't already have scratches and dings on the box. hell at home depot when we move them between the lots we crash them into shit all the time since they are made out of blind spots. l once beached a 26 footer on top of a fire hydrant. the cargo insurance might be a good one though.

The reason he was able to back out was by hitting the 'dump' switch, which lets air out of the rear suspension. Its purpose is to lower the back of the truck to lessen the angle of the loading ramp.
That’s one expense rental. Height of the truck is printed in big bright numbers on the dash. Height of the bridges are printed in big bright yellow and black numbers on the bridges. Guaranteed he was warned about the height of the truck. Newbie renter nervous never been in anything bigger than a pickup. Here’s your sign!
Reminds me of the Penske Truck eater, 11feet8 in NC. Love that bridge. It has given me many moments of viewing pleasure. I admit, I love to see the idiots needlessly screw up their lives.
I have 3 questions.... 1. Can you read? 2. Do you know the height of the truck you're driving? 3. Can you read, think, and drive at the same time? Take your time. I can wait. 🤯
If he had looked once in his side view mirror he would have seen the height of the truck clearly printed on the corner of the box (3:15). 13' 6" doesn't fit under an 11' 10" clearing.
FYI there is absolutely no insurance (that I've ever seen) that covers the top foot of the truck - extended insurance, personal insurance, none. Assume 13-14 foot clearance (though most trucks clearly label their clearance on the windshield). This guy will be out of pocket for the truck repairs, as well as rental fees until the truck gets repaired. I'd suggest getting a lawyer if you haven't already.
Pulled away from there in an Uber and left the truck there after we got it out, no questions asked by Penske, no extra expense either. Got lucky that I had full coverage through Penske!!
No sir, you won’t be getting your deposit back… No sir, the rental insurance does not cover this type of accident… Yes sir, you are responsible to pay for the repairs, oh and the days of lost revenue also…. Yes sir, it’s in your rental agreement. Have a nice day!
He replied in another thread that he just left the truck there and took an Uber. Penske's full rental coverage apparently covers overhead damage because he said there was no out-of-pocket cost. Shocking, I know.
Oh for bloop's sake! Deflate the tyres. Put some ballast in it to weigh it down. There's so much you could have done to make the extraction easier on all involved: You, the truck - and the bridge.
is that chasis plied too? Now on a Mercedes truck you mostly have air suspension. That could help in this case. How much turnover in repairs would that bridge generate evey year?
😏This is why I use U-Haul. Lower to the damn ground! Still, driving thru 5 states I double checked EVERY damn bridge height before I went under it....freeway AND in town!
yeah the 26 penske trucks are really high off of the ground for some reason. l think they do it that way to the box clears the tires, and then they don't have to make indents for wheel wells inside for the box for the tires. which is nice because the wheel wells in u-hual trucks really do get in the way when you're trying to pack everything tight.
Idiots could have lessened the tires’ air pressure. Or not driven under the bridge to start with. Wanna bet if they took the insurance policy on the rental?
You will likely have a high repair bill. You may be banned from renting from Penske again. Next time you drive a box truck, know its height and minimum clearance and plan roads around tunnels, bridges, and other obstacles that do not have tall enough openings for the truck to clear.
Hello, yes, I was wondering...is it too late to purchase the supplemental insurance you offered?... Oh, I'd have to bring the truck back first? Never mind.
Imagine what would have happened if it had been the infamous 11' 8" bridge in north carolina
Why wonder when you can watch it? There is 100+ videos of these trucks hitting that bridge.
This is why all the Penske trucks look new....the are.

Geez, 11" 10" on the bridge, it says on the truck is needs 13' 6" to clear which can be read in the drivers mirrors!
You're right. That's pretty cool. I guess no one ever looks in that mirror.

He seems pretty relaxed after having done that. He won't be when he gets the repair bill.

Probably got the insurance

4:03 - 13' 6" HIGH (truck)
2:13 - 11' 10" (bridge)
There is a reason that they put the height on the truck...
It's less than 2 feet! Should've fit!
@@PierreVlogs0803 well... it was. now its 11'10"
At 4:03 you can see the height written on the corner of the truck .. 13' 6"

13 + 6 = 19.
11 + 10 = 21.
19 < 21.
🤔 Should fit. I got 2 inches to spare.

There is a big sign that says 11"10 KNOW HOW TALL YOUR TRUCK IS!
this is a case of ALWAYS KNOW HOW TALL YOUR TRUCK IS

It looks like the Can Opener has gotten competition!
That's going to require a TON of duct tape.......

Let the air out of the tires and ride the rims out of there. I hope you took out the extra insurance to cover $35K in damages.
Insurance wouldn't cover this type of damage. This is coming out of his pocket plus he has to continue renting the truck while repairs are being made.
This, I admit, is most impressive.
A new expression is entering the language: to penske something, meaning to utterly wreck it through stupidity.
